3.3 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following preventative maintenance should be performed during the regular
printer inspection intervals.
• Disconnect the main cord set and retain it in your control for your safety.
• Remove the rear cover.
• Perform a visual inspection; clean, adjust and replace components as required.
• Vacuum Paper Chad out of Back Gage Mechanism and Die Guide as well as
base.
• Optical Sensors; Remove dust and particles from the lens using a soft cloth.
• Inspect Timing Belts for wearing or fraying.
• Inspect any Latching Mechanisms, clear any jams paper debris.
• Inspect Left / Right Punch alignment by running paper with each die set, check for
even hole alignment by folding the paper in half. If adjustment is required, ensure
that the Die Latch is properly adjusted.
• Inspect the Door closing latch for proper alignment, if bent, instructs the operator
to avoid closing the door with paper path latches out of place.
• Lubrication of the Die Set Pins (see note above)
• Cams (when punch is pulled), lubricate with high quality grease
• Inspect the Idler Rollers, clean if necessary.
• Inspect the Drive Rollers, clean if necessary.
• Inspect the Paper Path Panels, clean if necessary.
• Inspect each Die Set for wear. Run at least 100 sheets of paper. Look for signs of
excess paper jamming. Inspect the hole quality. Hanging chad or ragged holes can
lead to paper jams. If the hole is cut sharp enough that there is no hanging chad
and the paper passes through the system without catching and jamming, the die
set still has life.
As with any electro-mechanical device, isolated component failures may occur.
3.4 SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS

Professional Puncher-A1 provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light
to medium level production oriented customers.
• Designed for customers that have the need to punch their documents at a
maximum of 60-70% of their overall workflow.
• Recommended punching limit to 200k sheets per month. (600k sheets in
bypass mode)
• Die Sets will decrease in performance over time based on the types of stocks and
weights that are being punched.
• CANON guarantees a minimum of 500k punches per die set. However, if
paper stock punched is typically 20lb bond, then up to 2 million punches can
be achieved.
